I profess to be mainly a DIY/home maintenance/small projects, but very serious,type woodworker. At 69 years of age and 6 years as a pensioner I really enjoy my small workshop and am quite proud of the projects I have turned out. I bought a Ryobi 254mm model RA-2500 RAS in 1977 and can truly say that I could not work without it. Have never had any sort of accident (or incident) but I probably am hyper careful when it comes to safety issues.(To supplement my small pension I lecture at companies about welding and flame cutting safety) I believe to condemn the RAS is similar to those people who say "guns kill people" It is people who kill people, and stupid people injure themselves with power tools. Refer to the latest $1.5m award regarding a Ryobi table saw. I don't own a table saw or compound mitre saw, only a Festool 55. My saw still cuts as accurately as the day I bought it, although I do a regular "re-set and tune-up".Long live the radial arm saw!
